Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Arsenal

Sunday’s action gets underway at Goodison Park as Everton and Arsenal go head-to-head in the 1.30pm kick-off.

The Gunners seek a fifth clean sheet in six as they attempt to bounce back from last week’s late capitulation at Watford.

Arsene Wenger recalls both Alexis Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey, who both missed out through injury at Vicarage Road.

Sitting in just 2% of FPL squads, Sanchez has suffered a hugely underwhelming start to the season and has mustered just two assists, though both have arrived in his last two appearances.

Mesut Ozil is handed a first start since Gameweek 5, while Alexandre Lacazette is the most captained player for Sunday’s early encounter – over 143,000 have handed the Frenchman the armband, though all four of his league strikes have arrived at the Emirates so far.

Everton’s disastrous start to the season has ensured that most of us have steered well clear of their main men.

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Wayne Rooney remain their likeliest source of points, though Dominic Calvert-Lewin is worth monitoring as a budget frontman.

Priced at 5.0, the youngster starts for the fourth successive Gameweek and may yet prove a viable option if the Toffees can find their form ahead of clashes against Leicester, Watford, Palace, Southampton, West Ham and Huddersfield in the next six.

    Clearing the ball into mid riff of your fellow defender..pretty sure that's not in the manual.

      Ask after Davies attacking returns this afternoon and I bet it's a different answer...

    Laca halfway through his game.

    Lack of Success cross almost finds the corner flag.

    Keep trying.

    Xhaka responsible for the Everton goal apparently. When will Wenger see the light and stop blindly selecting the same players despite poor form! It’s truly maddening

    1. Guy Demel
      • 11 Years

      He’s a classic Wenger player.

      Don’t have a capable defensive midfielder at the club.

    Sanchez is shite these days

    1. Sánchez

      HEY.

      One bad gameweek and I'm getting slated
      And I still have my captain to go so it's not over yet

    Red Star fan here wishing you played with this lineup in Belgrade.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      lol

    2. Team Cruel

      You know things are bad when Red Star fans start dissing you.

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        They do have more European Cups than Arsenal

        1. nicecat

          Oh no you didn't.

    Sanchez with the 'Bemba float' again

    Kolasinac was free with a good opportunity and Sanchez ignores him.. Get Sanchez off

  11. G-Whizz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Yes I'm still keeping Kolasinac...

  12. Mika-eel
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Kola might as well stop doing those runs down the left when Sanchez has the ball.

  13. Je suis le chat

    Tempted by Luksku and RLC to Rooney and Sane for -4?

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years

      Bellerin can’t shoot for s***

    Monreal scores

  15. Fanta sea

    Sanchez just never looks to find Kolasinac. So many times Kolasinac has made great runs on the overlap.

  16. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Monreal is a beast

  17. Bubz

    Monreal keeps bloody scoring

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      probably not

      1. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Pretty sure rebounds count as assists no?

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Yes

  19. Wilshere Knowledge

    Arsenal's goal came from a Xhaka shot so maybe that stat is true!

  28. La Roja
    • 12 Years
